Crowning Ourselves With Body Positivity

What if we could flip a switch in our own heads

and 

decide to

Love Our Body

just as it is

 today.

What a perfect way to truly

Crown Ourselves!!

Instead of focusing on our personal 

perceived flaws

we woke up in the morning with wonderful

self love talk to ourselves

in which we marveled in

our very own magnificence.

That we were 

so very much more than 

good enough

today 

just as we are.

As someone who has struggled a lifetime

of not feeling good enough

body wise

I have decided I am done with that thinking.

I have realized life is much to short

to focus on what I don't like

instead

I am choosing to 

focus on all the parts 

I do love.

I am changing the beauty standard

I carry in my own mind.

I am changing it to revel in my own curves

instead of flinching in shame.

I choose today to decide 

I want to love, honor and respect

my own body.

That is one of the 

birthday gifts

I am giving myself this year.

I want to appreciate this body

that brought three wonderful humans into the world.

I want to appreciate this body

that is active and healthy.

That allows me to hike, kayak, and ride

in nature.

A body that moves with strength through Pilates and the gym.

A body that is sensual and strong.

I am choosing to drop any shame I carry 

of not having

'a self perceived perfect body'

and 

instead choose

to marvel in the magnificence

in this body that has 

served me so well

these past 59 years.

When we

 love, honor and respect 

our own body

it is so much easier to

 invest in good health

from a place of 

gratitude

instead of shame.

It is so much easier 

to dress a body

we choose to love

instead

of telling ourselves

we will get the new clothes

when we loose the weight or fix whatever perceived flaw.

Focusing on what we don't like

 blocks out the light 

of our own magnificence.

Because in the end 

it's never really what we look like

it's all about how we feel about our 

own reflection.

So this year as I turn 60

I am giving myself

permission

to be

 absolutely fabulous!

To Crown Myself!

To celebrate myself

just as I am.

Not 

someday when ...

Knowing I more years behind me

than in front

is absolutely

freeing! 

I am never going to be perfect

or younger than I am today.

I am choosing to celebrate myself

today.

Just as I am.

  

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
